Won't the radar and temps and DP's tell you that?!

shootie · 04-12-2011 7:54pm

My friend in London has informed me its snowing there. If the snow is that far south surely there is some hope for Southern Ireland folks like me?

1.8C here, DP -0.8. Not a fecking shower in site.

dont want to rub it in but thats the lowest i could say some people say were 300 meters above sea level

:D:P:P

Deep Easterly · 04-12-2011 8:02pm

Made a big sloppy sleet shower here earlier. I'd say snow/rain ratio was roughly 2/8 at best.

Reiketsu · 04-12-2011 8:05pm

Still not a flake of the stuff here but it's snowing in surrounding areas. Sad face

mountainy man · 04-12-2011 8:05pm

Just heard a couple of rumbles of thunder:eek:, very fine powdery snow

AfterDusk · 04-12-2011 8:06pm

Snowing in Manchester. Have a dusting on the car & now there's some light-moderate graupel.

Just off topic a little, does anyone know the website where you get a map of Ireland & UK and it has live temperatures and dew points? I used it the last 2 winters and have lost the link! Thanks

Before anyone asks:

Graupel (also called soft hail or snow pellets; METAR code: GS)[1] refers to precipitation that forms when supercooled droplets of water are collected and freeze on a falling snowflake, forming a 2–5 mm ball of rime. The term graupel is the German word for this meteorological phenomenon.[2] Graupel is sometimes referred to as small hail, although the World Meteorological Organization defines small hail as snow pellets encapsulated by ice, a precipitation halfway between graupel and hail.[3]

Had one real heavy shower of hailstones an hour ago, place is all white with it and its not melting, cars are crawling on the roads as it is difficult to drive in and very slippy.

darkman2 · 04-12-2011 8:44pm

North County Dublin may see some sleet or snow in the next hour from a couple of showers passing through Meath atm.

Davaeo09 · 04-12-2011 8:54pm

Snowing in Castlewarren County Kilkenny according to my cousin.
It is rather hilly out that direction.

Actually, can anyone tell me where I can find out where is the highest point in Kilkenny?

sparrowcar · 04-12-2011 8:58pm

Just got a call from a work collegue in Slane, Heavy snow for 30+ mins now.
The same cloud is heading directly for Balbriggan according to www.raintoday.co.uk

NIALL D · 04-12-2011 9:00pm

Seems to be dying out now. Surprised it even made it this far south and east.

irishdub14 · 04-12-2011 9:01pm

Any precipitation will fizzle out before it reaches the Dublin border. The big blue blob over Meath just disappeared

Ah well, hopefully some tomorrow

Any reason why I was singled out for your smart arse reply , seeing as there were several other posters who reported snow and didn't post photos

screamer · 04-12-2011 9:03pm

Snowed here in the South Laois border this evening around 6.30PM, stopped now....

The user has been warned. Pictures are a great bonus but this is a REPORTS thread so they are definitely not essential.

hotwhiskey · 04-12-2011 9:06pm

Another medium to heavy snow shower its sticking on the grass in the fields alright, but roads are clear.

deaglan169 · 04-12-2011 9:07pm

YEAH I got an infraction for asking a civil question
and as i pointed out the the mod the camera does not lie whereas some people do here.

and i have suggested photos twice already no offence btw.

So would a pic not be a better verification and add that much more to the thread as some have already?

As i've said to you already, not everyone has a camera to hand and even if they do they may not feel like going to the effort of taking pictures and uploading them here. The reports which are posted here are very valuable in marginal situations like these to see what type of precipitation is falling and where it's falling. Users are not required to provide photographic evidence to back up their reports. If people feel like wasting their time making up false reports they are usually very easily identified.

butterfly3 · 04-12-2011 9:25pm

I was just wondering if posters with reports could say where they???? Thanks it would be a great help for people only logging on

Big Daddy Cool · 04-12-2011 9:26pm

snow has arrived in north meath, about 6 miles north of slane, rathkenny area

snow ghost · 04-12-2011 9:26pm

No snow here... but very windy, some very strong squalls, if it does snow there could be mini blizzards.

Surely everyone has a phone?

04-12-2011 9:28pm

Not all phones have cameras. Mine dosent.:D

I'd say most people do, but that's not very relevant. They may not feel like taking and uploading pictures and are certainly not required to do so. Most pictures taken at the moment especially in places where it's snowing and not sticking would only yield blackness and no sign of anything anyway.

Back on topic now please as this thread is for reports and not discussion.

Harps · 04-12-2011 9:31pm

Snowing and sticking a few metres above sea level on the Donegal coast
